A southern Alberta man took home $250,000 after hitting the jackpot on a scratch-and-win ticket.
Joseph Laliberte, of Raymond, Alta., won the prize on the golden egg ticket in a scratch-off pack.
He said he was shocked when he discovered his big win.
'I started shaking,' he said. 'It's a good feeling.'
Laliberte said he does not have plans for his winnings yet.
He bought his scratch-and-win pack at the Town Pump located at 37 West 200 N, in Raymond.
The Western Canada Lottery Corporation notes that scratch-and-win tickets have an expiry date printed on the back.

Volunteers pack backpacks full of school supplies for families living in Ottawa Community Housing. Aug. 8, 2025. (Camille Wilson/CTV News Ottawa) Ottawa Community Housing (OCH) volunteers are packing more than 2,000 backpacks in a 24-hour pack-a-thon. Around 100 volunteers will assemble thousands of school supplies for children and youth living in OCH communities. The Pack a Sack program helps to relieve low-income families that often make less than $2,000 per month from the financial hardship of buying school supplies, averaging about $100 per child. The backpacks are filled with school supplies, lunch bags, water bottles, pencils, markers and geometry sets, providing students from junior kindergarten to Grade 11 with all they need to have a successful school year. More than $60,000 worth of supplies were distributed in 2024, with even more expected to be distributed this year. Backpacks will be delivered to families on Tuesday.
